Final comments

Seek advice from anyone who has already pursued his studies in this university. Travel only in metros and avoid taxis unless there is no-other option. You will have lows at times but do not feel demotivated. Take up the challenege and i am sure, success is not far away from you.

“cours de grande qualité”

Alexis D

France,
Engineering, Mechanical, 2025

Overall

Les cours sont enseignés par des chercheurs ou des professionnels travaillant en entreprise ce qui donne une légitimité et rend très intéressant les cours.
Les cours sous format d'amphi et petites classes permettent de bien assimiler les notions et pouvoir échanger librement avec les professeurs

Pros

Les filières de spécialisation sont très poussée tout en gardant une vision générale

We have lots of holidays in France so it is a good idea try to save some money to travel in France and around Europe (if it is your first time like me).

Overall

I wish I had known...

That it takes quite a lot of effort to learn a new language. I learnt from zero Spanish when I was seven in Spain and it was much easier.

In my opinion:

Most people loved it.
